They Bleed Pixels Review

They Bleed Pixels, one word, … beat
your face in .. (ok, maybe more than one). This is a pixelized
platformer by Spooky Squid Games. Controls are pretty simple but take
a little to perfect. And the graphics are pretty good for pixel art.
Now about what the game is... a platformer with some crazy jumps and
obstacles that require precise timing. Creatively killing enemies and
finding hidden items and power ups. You get graded at the end of each
dream sequence for the amount of blood you spilt and how creative
your kill combos were. The check pint system is also very unique in
that you collect blood from your kills and after you have collected
so much you can then stand in place to cast your check point.

Gameplay : 9 – A jump and an attack
button that uses some good directional combos to perform different
moves. Simple but takes a little to get used to.

Graphics : 8 – A mix between pixel
art and paper and ink styles. A very neat blend.

Sound : 6 – Nothing special to help
make game darker but then again the specialness of this game is the
unique gameplay and visuals.

Length : A lot of time. A single stage
can take between 20 – 40 minutes. Has about 40 stages or so.

Price : $9.99

Recommendation : If you like good
challenging platformers then this is for you. If you get nerd rage
easy, this game is not recommended.

About Me

From the never ending mountains black, to the bottomless lakes.
I am the ruler and has been for eternities long.
My wizards are many, but their essence is mine.
Forever they are in the hills in their stone homes of grief.
Because I am the spirit of their existence.
I am them.
